Spacevim: vim-import-js building failed

[i-oliva]

Expected behavior, english is recommend

I get vim-import-js building failed. I believe that this plugin is inside
the js layer. According to its [documentation] (https://github.com/Galooshi/vim-import-js)
it needs the npm import-js dependency, which is already installed in my system.

you can builde this plugin manually, and to see what happened. on plugin manager buffer, press g f, will open terminal with path of the plugin under cursor.

Does this attempt to use npm to install import-js? It fails to install with npm for me, but i got it installed with yarn. but the build stilled in the vim part.

[Lykos94]

I had the same error with npm, it stalled refusing to install another library. Yarn works fine

[mseidl]

yarn installed it fine, but it still fails to build the vim-import-js

[NoviaDroid]

I have checked the error log, It requires root permission to build, so simply remove the repo dir and restart vim as "sudo vim" let plug manager reinstall import-js and build will success

[jolth]

I the resolved in my Debian Buster:

# npm install -g import-js --allow-root --unsafe-perm=true

Optional, only if you has installed nodejs from https://github.com/nodesource/distributions:
# apt purge -y nodejs
# rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
# aptitude install node-sqlite3
# apt install npm
# npm install -g import-js --allow-root --unsafe-perm=true

importjs command works but vim-import-js building always failed.
